Airbnb Is Housing People for Free in Florida

Hurricane Matthew has been upgraded to a Category 4 hurricane and wreaking serious havoc along the Florida, Georgia and North Carolina coastlines. Millions have lost power, death tolls are rising and people everywhere have been displaced from their homes. In other words, it’s really, really bad. The Coast Guard, Red Cross, etc. are all working on disaster relief, and Airbnb is also coming through in this time of crisis.

If you or any family or friends are in the area, we encourage you to seek out shelter, whether it is through Airbnb or elsewhere. If you need accommodations or are willing to open your home to people needing a place to stay, you can go to the disaster response page of Airbnb’s website here.
